Increasing Activity

Do you have a sedentary job?  Is your activity limited by the amount of sitting you do during your day?  Do you wish you burned more calories during your day?

The things is, we can change daily habits to increase the amount of calories we burn during the day.  Here are some of the things that we can do to make our bodies a fat burning machine:

• Park in the back of the parking lot and walk a longer distance into work
• Ride, walk, or run to work
• Eat more lean protein food (higher thermogenic effects)
• Do 10 air squats for every 15 minutes sitting at work
• Do arm swings and core bracing while sitting at work
• Do planks and sit-ups during commercial breaks
• Take your dog for longer walks
• Eat more leafy and fibrous carbohydrates
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.  
• Drink your body weight of oz of water.

Have fun trying these tips out,
